yeah no

Meant to sign Kempe at 4 mil aav

The only trade I think I would do here is the New Jersey one, but I don't think the Devils would go for it.

I’d consider that trade for oilers might need to alter it a bit but I’d be ok seeing something along those lines.

Pssst… you don’t escape cap hell by moving a guy making less than league minimum, then locked in through the 27-28 season on a very team friendly deal

Oilers have no desire to pay Quick 4.3m and give up assets to acquire him.

I believe Devils would ask for defensive prospect or young player back if they were to trade Graves.

Retain AND give you another piece that we just paid a 2nd and a player for!
OK!

Not nearly enough for Graves (why would NJ retain and why would we ask them to?*); we aren't trading Quick; and little sense in exchanging Durzi for Whitecloud if the second isn't included, and if it is, Las Vegas would probably decline.

* We won't be signing Smith or Campbell.

It worked for the kings so well. I tried to justify it as part of vegas' escape from the cap situation but it's probably the biggest longshot deal made here.
